This video dives into how the assumption of drum machines appearing in the early 80s is incorrect. It explores early electronic rhythm devices such as the Rhythmicon (1930), the Chamberlin Rhythmate (1957), Bandito the Bongo Artist (1963), Select-A-Rhythm (1964), the PAiA Programmable Drum Set (1975) and the CompuRhythm CR-78 (1978).
More info: http://bit.ly/TIfQZj During Dubspot's recent trip to Seattle's Decibel Festival, our video team caught up with Roger Linn, the godfather of the modern drum machine, Carl Craig, one of Detroit's most talented producers, for a lecture/discussion about the history and evolution of the rhythm machines that have shaped our musical world.
